Lighthouse Ministries Daily Prayer
Thank You for being the creative God, who created all things and who inspires me to look at the world through Your creative eyes.
I look up to the sky and I see Your beautiful creation.
I look at the flowers in the field and I see Your tenderness and beauty.
Lord, please help me to notice this same beauty and care in the people You created.
And let me be especially mindful of Your beautiful creation in each baby and child, which you allow us to bring into Your creation through Your miracles of conception and birth.
Your creation of me and of every person is a miracle, as David wrote...
For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me When as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.
It can be hard for me to love my neighbors.
Please renew my mind that I may begin to view others as part of Your beautiful creation and Your masterpiece.
Please mold my heart so that I can seek out people who are overlooked and hurting and tend to them.
Thank You, Lord, for Your creation and for giving me the blessing of being Your hands and feet in this World.
